Right now, he's cranking newly crafted funk-pop-psychedeli c wonders Boom, Forever and Dreamer, an ode to Martin Luther King Jr. inspired by discussions with Dick Gregory. He declines to play The Divine, a song so "mind-blowing" he doubts he'll ever release it. "The minute the harmonies hit, I put it away," he says.

On a love song, his voice takes on yearning as he pines for the feel of a lover's lips and the move of her hips. "That's what happens with years of celibacy," says Prince, survivor of two broken marriages. "It all goes into the music." He pauses. "This time, it has to be the right person."

More Prince hype. A song that's just too good for us mortals.

What does "too good to release" even mean?

We have to remember, Emancipation was "the album Prince was born to make"
A great album, in my opinion, but something above and beyond others he had released? nah. Just hype.

I'm sure "The Divine" is probably really good. But we're not going to get seizures from listening to it's intricately crafted chords or shit like that

Exactly. Prince has been saying silly, unfounded comments like this since the 80's. It's all good fun and drives the fanatics crazy but it's just hype.

Maybe he's hedging his bets a little too... if a particular album is a letdown, fans can always point to the songs P held back because they were "too good".

NOOOOO!!!!!
Baby, baby, baby, PLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!!!
Oh, no, oh, no....you gotta turn this one loose!!!!
No, I'm going to pass out... I can't take it!!! Lawd have mercy!!!
Feed me, Baby, feed me, please!!!


Wow, that is deep!!
Them that know, know

I would have loved to have heard Janet Jackson give an excuse like this for cancelling her lackluster sales concerts.

Yeah, one just walked in the door. Fanatic here

It's called sex with Eros... climaxing through the heart, spiritual ejaculation.

The next time you are about to have an orgasm, try raising it from the low to a Higher Place! It takes a lot of discipline; celibacy being one of them!

Some refer to it as Kundalina; some say snake; the Nubians, Uraeus; others Holy Spirit; one and the same. For those who have been awakened to it... your Life will never ever be the same. It's Pure Atmic

Love33 said:

mmm yeah tht is pretty deep l gotta say !!!

This is the problem...I have never heard this song and Prince's idea of Chakra sex and Making love on other planes and things...Ya just don't know...but U always seem to wanna find out. Soundz, "Divine," to me.

Wasn’t the song ‘Gold’ hyped to be an amazing song? ….. need I say anymore

Exactly. Prince compared it to Purple Rain. Yikes.

The Emancipation thnig...I always read that as a fun thing - it was marketed as the album "" was born to make, which, when you think about the arguments against Warners Bros and the whole slave thing, was probably true - he changed his name to get free of his contracts. So Prince gave birth to to release his music as he saw fit.

I don't think he was suggesting it was the album he was put on this earth to make.
